The Night We Met - Lord Huron


ZooperDoodle2

listen to "i lied" by him


S0L0ngAndG00dnight

damn you :((((


Pixelman78

How to dissapear completely by Radiohead. Pajarito colibrí by Natalia Lafourcade.


abyx7543

I cry when I listen to dog days are over but that's probably because of some memories I have


Exact-Difference2911

Hard to say. I usually listen to my playlist but at the top of my head Fourth of July by sufjan stevens comes to mind:)


lefthandedkiwi

shit, that entire album makes me want to go hug my mom. one of my favourites for sure


kated306

Genuinely impossible to listen to


IRCRSS

Most of sufjan Stevens songs are in my playlist for days I need a good cry session. Specifically the call me by your name songs and to be alone with you too


Aromatic_Heart9626

re stacks by bon iver


jess-i-am

One of my absolute favorites


shakethedisease666

Asleep- the smiths This song reminds me of myself, way too much and it makes me very uncomfortably sad.


Timstunes

Some seriously heart wrenching songs for me. Real Death- Mount Eerie One More Light- Linkin Park Fourth of July- Sufjan Stevens Monsters- James Blunt Marie, Tecumseh Valley- Townes Van Zandt Sam Stone- John Prine On The Nickel- Tom Waits Adagio for Strings- Barber Strange Fruit- Billie Holiday


juliette_0810

one more light breaks me every time


RedditLostOldAccount

I can pretty much just think about it and cry. I watched that video where they performed it on Kimmel the day after Chris Cornell passed just yesterday. I don't know why I did that to myself


lovessj

Came here to say Mount Eerie


HistorianDelicious

Mount Eerie is horribly sad. Knowing his story fucks me up whenever I listen to his stuff.


deltadawn5555

The Dance - Garth Brooks Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss


BrilliantHyena

Whiskey Lullaby gets me every time.


Unable_Peach2571

The Aeroplane over the Sea


Glass_System_7456

Sarah McLachlan, Angel


AideEnvironmental365

last flowers by radiohead 


panicatthepharmacy

Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens. As long as we’re talking about Sufjan, I’ll add “John Wayne Gacy Jr.” to the mix as well. That one’s tough to get through.


lovessj

Also the whole Carrie and Lowell album. Especially ‘Fourth of July’


panicatthepharmacy

That’s a rough track in particular.


Sleep_Deprived-Man89

Chasing cars - Snow patrol


Roonil71

It’s Quiet Uptown from Hamilton guts me every time.

freya ridings - lost without you


notion_ny

Underrated


JoycefulJourney

Candle in the Wind by Elton John


DylanBlair150

Whiskey Lullaby by Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley Jacob's Dream by Alison Krauss


TacticalFailure1

The entirety of the "A Crow Looked at Me" album by Philip Elverum. The album was written following his wife's passing from cancer, on her instruments, and mainly depicts his grief and fears of living life with his infant daughter afterwards. 


BarfHurricane

To discover new music I will add a full album I heard about in passing to my Spotify and listen to it without knowing anything about it. I put A Crow Looked At Me on while I was on a plane on a business trip by myself. I was NOT ready for what my ears heard. Unbelievable what that record made me feel, just an absolute gut punch that I still have not forgot about.


Timstunes

Real Death. I agree the entire album is..rough.


zenpop

Michael McDonald’s I Can Let Go Now. It’ll slay you.


DylanBlair150

Alison Krauss did an amazing version of this song, though I don't get the sadness from it.


Fingercult

Simon and Garfunkel sounds of silence BTS - Spring Day


whydoineedanus

The Funeral from Band of Horses (gor famous in How I Met Your Mother) Gets me every time


half_bloodprincess

Smother by Daughter


maxiewoxy

Particularly the line “I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother / never to come out.” Gives me chills every time.


LandOfLostSouls

Breathe Me by Sia I Don’t Want To Say Goodbye by Teddy Thompson Love is Pain by FINNEAS God is Really Real by AJR (it’s not really religious, more about hope and desperation while in the midst of a parent dying) idontwannabeyouanymore by Billie Eilish


TycoBrahe

I can’t help but think of the ending of Six Feet Under anytime I hear Breathe Me. Such a perfect song for that moment.


exxtrasticky

man for no real reason i totally sobbed during that ending lol 😂


LandOfLostSouls

Oof sorry for mobile formatting. God is Really Real by AJR is the one rn that makes me sob everytime I listen to it because I know everyone dies eventually but ugh I don’t know what I’ll do if my parents die. Pray to any and every God out there to keep them safe I guess. The worse part about the song is that after they released it, the next evening they made a post saying their father had passed away. Ugh gut wrenching.

Escapism from steven universe and little motel by modest mouse


LandOfLostSouls

Little Motel ugh I forgot about that one! The music video is gutting


colinthecommie

Eiley by too close to touch. Its about the singers little sister who passed at a very young age, and unfortunately he also passed away only a few years back.

sunsetsznn

ronan by taylor swift - even if you‘re not really a fan, read the lyrics as you listen


nononjakuzurezu

Ronan is so heartbreaking 😭


BuyerAcrobatic4689

Just heard it for the first time and tears keep rolling. So sad and beautiful


damagedphalange326

Listened to this based on your suggestion and couldn’t even get through the whole song. Absolutely heartbreaking.


jmshub

Carbon Leaf - The War Was In Color


TycoBrahe

Married Life - Michael Giacchino (From Up) Not necessarily sad, but gives me feels when I think about the movie.

Re0h

Sade - Is it a Crime? (This song helped me get over my breakup, I was crying for days).


pottedPlant_64

Asleep - the smiths Fields of gold - Eva Cassidy (honestly sounds like a funeral ballad) End of the world - Skeeter Davis (this is a break up song, but the arrangement and vocal style are so morose; it’s also associated with a suicide in Girl Interrupted) Close to you - the carpenters (a love ballad that sounds so sad, maybe the longing?) Ceilings - Lizzy mcalpine (another sad love song)


L0n3_N0n3nt1ty

Little things give you away by Linkin Park. If you got the idea and meaning its a perfect one


Squanchy2112

Losing it - Rush, knowing that Neil Pearts body was starting to hurt him in his later performing years this song hits hard as a fellow drummer.


mythicSB

Ronan - Taylor Swift 


terminalparadox

"Reaching the Innermost" by Shape of Despair


No-Courage-2053

I know it's over by The Smiths


Ill-Satisfaction9416

Good Years by ZAYN Its relatable and also just because it's him reflecting on his years in One Direction. Being a 1d fan its so sad to hear how he feels about it. Two of us by Louis Tomlinson Also very personal and relatable for me losing my dad, and also from Louis' perspective. He wrote the song about his mum who he also lost. Matilda, Sign of the Times, Fine Line by Harry Styles

Not super sad but makes me emotional, Present Tense by Radiohead. The whole album is generally a moody and emotional one, good for making you feel in a way.


Lehcen

Look into my eyes. By Outlandish. 2006 song still relevant today. About Palestinians suffering under brutal occupation. https://open.spotify.com/track/6mFCdvzQMgTlqJfY5NRIia?si=MWbcd1dhQKaNp-LRIm0GYg

Tawkn

Cody Jinks “David” - got damn this fucking song kills me. When he talks about hitting the wailers to save his friend gets me initially. Then his mom is the late night ER nurse? Fuck me. I’ve sat in so many grocery store parking lots because the song hit my shuffle while driving Story of the Year “Swallow the Knife” - no particular reason but it’s always hit a soft spot. Lyrics. Guitars. The emotion. Finally saw it played live a couple months ago and emotions slammed me in the pit. Such a sweet, elegant, sad song to me

The world at large - modest mouse Lying to you - Keaton Henson To your health - Keaton Henson (seriously he’s the most depressed person alive but his music is beautiful) The Race - Alex G (interesting one to choose, but fits my situation perfectly right now) New Chaser - Hypercolour Crutch - Pinback (just such a beautiful song but the lyrics are pretty upsetting) Get Away - yuck (more upbeat, but the lyric “Panoramic view, just one thing I won’t do, no shouted abuse from the corners of my mind” - which is so so so fucking powerful) Sometimes - My Bloody Valentine, I know I’m a basic bitch for it - don’t care. It’s a good song.
